    Do those AVID bars come with a harness? What do the mounts look like? I am looking at a single row bar but need the mounts to not add a lot of height to the total height.

    What do the mounts look like? How much height do the mounts add?

    Can anyone tell me anything about EZlightbars?

    http://www.ezlightbars.com/index.php...roller=product

    their price is phenomenal but i'm concerned about the quality since its roughly 10% of Rigid Industries.

    help please, I cant find much on it and don't know enough about the internals to make a good decision with no regrets in a month

    For that price and that amount of lumens, it's probably Epistar rather than CREE. I could be wrong

    Or if you pay $35 more and get a 30" from AVEC (CREE) that puts out 16400 lumens!

    Shot you the invoice along with some comped amber covers. The set comes with covers already so you will have one clear / one amber pair to play with.

    Suhweet! Yeah I kinda forgot about the covers and was excited when I saw the invoice! Yer awesome man. I'm hoping the weather stays like it is by the time I get them. Because lately here in az it's been overcast and we actually had a couple crazy foggy nights here! Which is pretty rare. Don't remember seeing such dense fog EVER here. Never knew how bad the glare was with regular lights in fog, then lighting up all my led bars just to see how it would do, holy crap I couldn't see shit! Ha. So I'm hoping I'll have the chance to use the amber covers on these lights in a real situation where they are needed! Should work good in the haboobs too during monsoons:D

    Yeah we got a brush of that storm up here in Vegas too. Amber is designed to work in those situations so they should work great.

    Hi all, longtime lurker (lost my old account). I'm wanting to get a 30" from Avec.

    I IM'd Mike but I know he's busy and it's the weekend...I'm wondering how much or if any of the output from a 30" in the lower bumper would be blocked by an Avid bumper guard? I don't have the guard yet, so I cant measure the opening. I've seen pics of others and it LOOKS like it will be ok...

    Also, can anyone tell me what's the process for ordering Avec? The prices on here are crazy!! Are the prices at the beginning of this thread the current prices???
